Casey, don’t leave me here
Casey, don’t, please don’t leave me here
Little children come to their father crying: daddy don’t leave us here…
Daddy, daddy, don’t leave us here
Casey, don’t leave me here
Casey, don’t, please don’t leave me here
Little children come to their father crying: daddy don’t leave us here…
Daddy, daddy, don’t leave us here
He couldn’t stand that children crying he told the farmer he said get the bell
going I heard the bell going something like this…
Wife still crying…
Don’t leave me here, Casey
Don’t, please don’t leave me here
Next thing I heard his drive wheel jumping in the railroad joints something
like this he were gone…
He run up some sheep, some sheep he couldn’t flag them so he had to stop his
train, made him sort of mad, too. I heard him, when he was cuttin' down,
he was blowing something like this for the sheep to get off the track…
After he had to stop for the sheep to get off the track come his cousin here
is what he said you know, what he said was this:
Hop down little sheep, hop down little sheep
Don’t leave me here Casey, don’t, don’t leave me here
After that he was a little behind time looked like the drive wheel was tryin'
to catch up with the little track-wheel…they all got scared thought «What's your deal?» One good christian lady come singing: Lord, have mercy,
save me lord
Oh lord, have mercy, oh lord
Oh lord, have mercy, save me, lord oh lord
Don’t leave me, oh lord
Oh lord, don’t leave me, save me lord
